Important Holiday Message:

The BIG day is getting closer, and our crafting schedule is filling up quickly! Every puzzle we craft is handcrafted - piece by piece. Because of this, it's impossible to know exactly how many puzzles we can cut in time for holiday delivery. Our experience allows us to make a really good, educated guess, but it's all up to our amazing team of puzzle cutters (and just how much coffee and M&M's they can consume to keep them going!). We are committed to family fun and want your holiday season to be spectacular and magical. We'll do our best to get each and every order cut and delivered by Christmas. If we find we just can't make it happen, we'll contact you as soon as possible and send you a promise certificate to put under the tree and give you a discount of 40% off* for accepting delivery in January.

If you need something for immediate delivery, please visit the InStock, Time Share, Rental, or Boutique areas of our website.

Chess On The Reef

Traditional Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle

Crafted in our Vermont workshop, each wooden jigsaw puzzle is meticulously hand-cut by a highly skilled Stave artisan to be a luxury, heirloom-quality puzzle. No computers or lasers. They are often crafted with an irregular edge that will vary depending on the puzzle's size.

You can personalize your puzzle by requesting names, initials, and dates crafted into it and we can fill the puzzle with charming, clever, and elegant whimsy-shaped pieces. Silhouette shapes can include logos, people in action, a specific car model, or animal breed. If you prefer, you can leave it to the artisan to choose the shapes and surprise you! You'll also discover special cutting features within the puzzle designed to surprise, confound, and delight you!

    Check Mate!

    Yerka's images make fantastic puzzles, especially when cut by Stave. Chess On The Reef is so vivid and such a fun image. It looks like it should be easy, but with their magic, line cutting, etc., it was quite a difficult build! I ordered this as a 1,000 piece and loved every minute of building it. The cleverly designed irregular borders were amazing.
